. Official proceedings . r than about threeand a half years to sketch the history of the movement thathas resulted in the promulgation of these regulations. One ofthe most influential and useful representative bodies in thiscountry is the American Railway Association that was organizedin 1886 and now meets semi-annually to consider matters affect-ing the operation of 246, 172 miles of railroads in the UnitedStates, Canada and Mexico.

He was actuatedby vivid recollections of the disastrous explosions at Kings Mills, Forest. Crestline, and Redstone Junction.

For years enthusiastic inventors have endeavored to perfect means for firingwith safety sensitive high explosives from cannon. In this case the inventor-; con-fidence in his own device had led him to fire this gun frequently in the presenceof friends and members of his family. When brought to the Government testinggrounds for a final trial the inventor objected to placing his device in a secludedand protected spot where loss of life could not occur, stating that such actionwould discredit his invention. He showed no objection to the rule, however, whenthe result of the test was as shown above. He knew that since these dangerous shipments are necessarilyinterchanged little good could come from individual railwayinitiative; that uniform action by all roads was necessary, notonly to minimize dangerous conditions of the shipments thatare, at best, sufficiently dangerous, but also to avoid obstructiveand competitive traffic and commercial conditions.
